1921 Bee Coin Necklace - Antique Fine

1921 Italian Bee Coin Pendant and Rose Gold Necklace

Struck in post-war Italy, this 10 centesimi coin bears the image of a honeybee — chosen as a national symbol of industry, unity, and hope.
One hundred years later, it has been transformed into a pendant of quiet resilience and remembrance.
Soldered with rose gold and suspended on a warm, textured chain, this piece carries echoes of history and the enduring beauty of nature.

This coins are becoming increasingly rare and fine examples like these are becoming very difficult to find, making them a unique and investable heirloom gift.

A century-old whisper, captured in copper and rose gold.
This necklace features an original 1921 Italian 10 centesimi coin, with the iconic bee motif — a symbol of resilience, prosperity and the sacred feminine. Lovingly transformed into a pendant with a hand-soldered rose gold vermeil bail, it hangs from a delicately shimmering popcorn chain.

Designed for the wild-hearted, the nostalgic, and those who honour meaning in every detail.
Wear it layered or alone — a talisman of quiet strength, rooted in story.
